Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 219 words
An apparatus that converts liquids into mist and spray, comprising a. at least one container of liquid, b. an air blower unit positioned near the top of said container, or containers, with means of piping maximum portions of its output of air into the upper area of the container, or containers, c. means of piping selected portions of the air from the means of piping the maximum portions of the blower's output of air into the upper area of the container, or containers, to the base of said container, or containers, and then to a dispenser nozzle, said means consisting of a series of selected size air pipes, elbows, tees and connectors, d. means of delivering selected portions of liquid from the base of the container, or containers, into the means of piping selected portions of said air near the base of said container, or containers, and then to a dispenser nozzle, said means consisting of a series of selected valves, tubes and connectors, thus mixing the liquid and air by the use of gravity, suction and pressure, e. means of dispensing the air and liquid mixture through said dispenser nozzle to the atmosphere, as a mist and spray, said nozzle containing a selected pressure controlling orifice and a pressure reducing chamber having a series of inside spiral threads.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 219 words
An apparatus that converts liquids into mist and spray, comprising a. at least one container of liquid, b. an air blower unit positioned near the top of said container, or containers, with means of piping maximum portions of its output of air into the upper area of the container, or containers, c. means of piping selected portions of the air from the means of piping the maximum portions of the blower's output of air into the upper area of the container, or containers, to the base of said container, or containers, and then to a dispenser nozzle, said means consisting of a series of selected size air pipes, elbows, tees and connectors, d. means of delivering selected portions of liquid from the base of the container, or containers, into the means of piping selected portions of said air near the base of said container, or containers, and then to a dispenser nozzle, said means consisting of a series of selected valves, tubes and connectors, thus mixing the liquid and air by the use of gravity, suction and pressure, e. means of dispensing the air and liquid mixture through said dispenser nozzle to the atmosphere, as a mist and spray, said nozzle containing a selected pressure controlling orifice and a pressure reducing chamber having a series of inside spiral threads.
Claim 3
Independent Claim 220 words
A method of converting liquids into mist and spray, comprising the steps of a. having at least one container of liquid, b. positioning an air blower unit near the top of said container, or containers, with means of piping maximum portions of its output of air into the upper area of the container, or containers, c. installing means of piping selected portions of the air from the means of piping the maximum portions of the blower's output of air into the upper area of the container, or containers, to the base of said container, or containers, and then to a dispenser nozzle, said means consisting of selected size air pipe, elbows, tees and connectors, d. installing means of delivering selected portions of liquid from the base of the container, or containers, into the means of piping selected portions of said air near the base of said container, or containers, and then to the dispenser nozzle, said means consisting of selected valves, tubes and connectors, thus mixing the liquid and air by the use of gravity, suction and pressure, e. installing means of dispensing the air and liquid mixture through said dispenser nozzle to the atmosphere, as a mist and spray, said nozzle containing a selected pressure controlling orifice and a pressure reducing chamber having a series of inside spiral threads.
Claim 4
Independent Claim 220 words
A method of converting liquids into mist and spray, comprising the steps of a. having at least one container of liquid, b. positioning an air blower unit near the top of said container, or containers, with means of piping maximum portions of its output of air into the upper area of the container, or containers, c. installing means of piping selected portions of the air from the means of piping the maximum portions of the blower's output of air into the upper area of the container, or containers, to the base of said container, or containers, and then to a dispenser nozzle, said means consisting of selected size air pipe, elbows, tees and connectors, d. installing means of delivering selected portions of liquid from the base of the container, or containers, into the means of piping selected portions of said air near the base of said container, or containers, and then to the dispenser nozzle, said means consisting of selected valves, tubes and connectors, thus mixing the liquid and air by the use of gravity, suction and pressure, e. installing means of dispensing the air and liquid mixture through said dispenser nozzle to the atmosphere, as a mist and spray, said nozzle containing a selected pressure controlling orifice and a pressure reducing chamber having a series of inside spiral threads.
Claim 5
Independent Claim 211 words
A method of converting liquids into mist and spray, comprising the steps of a. having at least two containers of liquids, b. positioning an air blower unit near the top of said containers, with means of piping maximum portions of its output of air into the upper area of the containers, c. installing means of piping selected portions of the air from the means of piping maximum portions of the blower's output of air into the upper area of the containers, to the base of said containers and then to a dispenser nozzle, said means consisting of a series of selected size air pipes, elbows, tees and connectors, d. installing means of delivering selected portions of selected liquids from the base of the containers into the means of piping selected portions of said air near the base of said containers, and then to a dispenser nozzle, said means consisting of selected valves, tubes and connectors, thus mixing the liquids and air by the use of gravity, suction and pressure, e. installing means of dispensing the air and liquid mixture through said dispenser nozzle to the atmosphere, as a mist and spray, said nozzle containing a selected pressure controlling orifice and a pressure reducing chamber having a series of inside spiral threads.
Claim 6
Independent Claim 211 words
A method of converting liquids into mist and spray, comprising the steps of a. having at least two containers of liquids, b. positioning an air blower unit near the top of said containers, with means of piping maximum portions of its output of air into the upper area of the containers, c. installing means of piping selected portions of the air from the means of piping maximum portions of the blower's output of air into the upper area of the containers, to the base of said containers and then to a dispenser nozzle, said means consisting of a series of selected size air pipes, elbows, tees and connectors, d. installing means of delivering selected portions of selected liquids from the base of the containers into the means of piping selected portions of said air near the base of said containers, and then to a dispenser nozzle, said means consisting of selected valves, tubes and connectors, thus mixing the liquids and air by the use of gravity, suction and pressure, e. installing means of dispensing the air and liquid mixture through said dispenser nozzle to the atmosphere, as a mist and spray, said nozzle containing a selected pressure controlling orifice and a pressure reducing chamber having a series of inside spiral threads.
